I love my pineapple fried rice if it is a little more spicy. I usually mixed the rice with some chili powder before frying them in the wok.

Oh my Gosh, I want to go out and make this right now it looks so fantastic. Definitely on my must make list soon!

Diana – yes, you should make this pineapple fried rice. So good!

David – that’s great. Let me know how your pineapple fried rice goes. They are great, you should make some curry too.

this recipe looks fantastic! adding this recipe to my long long list of ‘must try’ recipes from your blog! lol

Looks wonderfully festive! I always see other people ordering this dish at Thai restaurants, but I’ve never thought to order it myself because I usually like white rice. After seeing this I’m tempted to just make it myself.

OMG, i just finished a plate of pineapple fried rice.. it tastes awesome! Btw, is there any particular reason why the sauces (fish sauce, dark soy sauce and pineapple juice) to be added towards the end of the process? Will the outcome be the same if i mix all the ingredients and sauces first and follow by adding the rice with quick stir.

Hi, wondering why when I eat pineapple fried rice at my local thai place, it has a strong curry flavor? Is it a different version? Thanks

Looks delicious… Can I use your recipe to add with my menu? I have a fast food which serves different kinds of rice bowl here in the Philippines. I saw your post and I was thinking if it is okay with you for me to use your recipe… Thanks and more power…

I made this today! I didn’t have shrimp paste so I just used extra fish sauce. I felt some flavor was lacking (possibly because I didn’t have shrimp paste) so I added some oyster sauce and a tsp of sugar. It was quite good! It didn’t taste like a restaurant pineapple fried rice but still pretty good

OMG! This is so appealing and I really want to try it at home.I’ve tasted pineapple rice before from a restaurant.Now this post makes me want to try it at home.I hope mine will be delicious too… :)

We love pineapple fried rice! Our local Thai restaurant adds yellow curry powder, and that’s how I make it at home. Delicious!
